Canon Powershot D30: waterproof to 82 feet!
We love the small and handy size of waterproof cameras, but all too often we can't take them on dives because their depth rating won't allow it. The new PowerShot D30, Canon's latest waterproof camera, provides a solution as it is waterproof to 82 feet, 20 to 50 feet more than the competition. The 12.1 megapixel PowerShot D30, which is also temperature-resistant down to 14F and can handle 6.5 feet drops, has built-in GPS, can shoot full 1080p HD video, ad retails for US$329. We can't wait to test it! [See Canon press release and Canon D30 product page] -- Posted Saturday, March 8, 2014 by chb
